   These photos from the Hortus Bulborum Foundation at Limmen, Armin?  Really lovely .

Yes Maggi, Hortus Bulborum - simply a great place for any bulbs lover.

About now should be the right time for a visit .

Our 'Dutch Master' might be able to give further advices on the status of peak of blossom

Here's Tulipa biebersteiniana waiting for some sun. Another from Janis; "Kamennije Mogili (Stony Tombs), Ukraina, Dombai Steppe, collected by D. Zubov".

Ralph, it's really Tulipa ophyophylla ssp. bestachica, which I've collected myself in 2008 in Stony Tombs Reserve at Azov Steppes, and offered to Janis later under my true name "FIRE BIRD" in Russian "ЖАР-ПТИЦА (zhar-ptitsa)"

Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks Armin.

Here are the Tulipa clusiana again; firstly the one labelled var. stellata, and secondly f. cashmeriana. Probably both not right as such, in fact I can't see a lot of difference between them.

Bought this gem from Tim Ingram on Sunday; Tulipa orphanidea subsp. whyttallii.

[johnralphcarpenter]

This is a garden tulip which pops up every year; anyone know what it is?

Tulipa species KV97 from Kurt Vickery. Anyone care to ID?

Edit to add comment from Kurt: "According to Zonnevelds analysis this is THE  T.stapfi. I collected KV121 from a locus

classicus and it is very different in shape and habit. KV121 is what I would have expected T stapfi

to look like. The Iranian reds are very complicated!"

Tulipa agenensis RUDA-093, from Janis, "Dokuzdolanbac gec (on map Demirci gec), right side of road, stoney scree slopes, 1890m".
